Mitt Romney Meeting With Sheldon Adelson In Las Vegas

Mitt Romney is meeting with Sheldon Adelson -- the billionaire casino magnate and big Newt-Gingrich supporting super-PAC donor -- in Las Vegas on Tuesday, according to CBS News and CNN. Romney is holding a fundraiser later Tuesday, hosted by Donald Trump at his hotel, that Gingrich will also attend.

Adelson and his wife, Miriam, gave $20 million to Winning Our Future, the pro-Gingrich super PAC. The cash infusion helped buoy the former GOP presidential candidate's campaign, though Gingrich's own campaign eventually ended with $4.7 million in debt.

Adelson and his wife also gave $5 million to the GOP Congressional Leadership Fund, a GOP-aligned super PAC supporting congressional candidates.

Adelson, however, has said Romney is no Gingrich, and is similar to Obama: "He's not the bold decision maker like Newt Gingrich is."

"Everything I've said to Mitt -- 'Let me look into it,'" continued Adelson. "He's like Obama. He doesn't want to put himself -- when Obama was in the Illinois Senate, 186 times he voted 'present.' Because he didn't want to establish a record for himself."

The super PAC supporting Romney, Restore Our Future, saw its fundraising fall in April. Adelson, who made $7 billion in 2011 and has a net worth of about $25 billion according to Forbes, could provide a crucial funding source for the group if he so chooses.
